NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY-JAN.20th

Another well-balanced week, without a ton of books all featuring the same characters.The Agents of Atlas continue to wander the Marvel Universe as they go up against the Avengers for a few issues.DC ships a few more Blackest Night revivals, Phantom Stranger and Starman. The Phantom Stranger issue features a host of other "magical" DC universe characters including Deadman and Blue Devil. The Starman has Robinson penning what could be the last Shade story.

Vertigo gives us another $1.00 comic as Joe the Barbarian #1 ships. I'm not sure why they think this one needs the buck book promotion, Grant Morrison has enough of a fan base to give it a solid start.

Wildstorm starts off another Supernatural mini-series, if they used this photo cover for the whole print run rather than only 10% of them, it would probably sell a lot better.
